Ian:
However, my mind refused to focus on the north, the academy or the mysteries.
It kept returning to Clementine.
Once we arrived, we were taken straight to our rooms because of the weather.
Everyone had taken a shower, and afterward they decided to go to the green squad room to work out.
Oriana was somewhere in the hall, trying to get food with a lurker beside her to ensure she did not speak to any red squad members.
That was another problem. I could not go speak to Clementine, and I blamed myself for it.
Whenever we had time, something happened and we lost the chance.
After the bathroom emptied, I stepped inside and turned on the water.
I rested my forehead against the tile as the warm water fell down my back while I thought about Clementine.
Before long, the door slammed open and someone pushed a body inside with me, straight into the shower.
Her fingers wrapped around my stomach. I quickly removed her hands and turned around to look.
It was Oriana. Her hair fell over her shoulders as the water soaked her clothes.
I reached for a towel and wrapped it around my waist before grabbing her arms and pinning her against the wall angrily, trying to figure out what she was planning and who had pushed her inside.
The moment I focused my eyes on her, trying to show how angry she had made me, I saw her panic.
"Who pushed you in? What do you think you were doing?" I yelled at her over the sound of the water, shaking her miserably.
I had been so angry with her because of all the trouble she kept causing that I decided I had to show her my anger, show her what I was capable of so she would stay away from me.
But the truth was, I wanted to kill her.
"I just thought you needed a hug," she uttered weakly, and my fingers tightened against her skin.
I could tell she was in pain, but then the door opened, and everything happened too fast.
Before I could turn around, she pushed herself against me and kissed me on the lips.
I shoved her back, but it was too late. Someone had already seen it.
"Oh, so sorry, Clementine. Did you need anything?" Oriana began to say, and my body froze when I saw Clementine standing in the doorway.
"We were not doing anything," Oriana added.
I wanted to slam her head against the tiles, but my focus stayed on Clementine, her eyes filled with tears.
"So that is how you want to punish me now?" Clementine hissed.
She turned and began to walk away quickly.
I had a feeling she might have listened to me before, but because I had acted like this with her, she was reacting the same way.
